CLIC Test Facility 3 for the Compact LInear Collider feasibility demontration.

Abstract
CLIC (Compact LInear Collider) is one of the strongest candidates to become the post-LHC collider to refine in the multi-TeV energy region the discoveries of the Large Hadron Collider. This energy is achievable in "compact" dimensions and with an affordable power consumption using the two-beams acceleration scheme. In this scheme a high curent beam is used to produce the RF power travelling in special structures, PETS. To verify the feasibility of the scheme several facilities have been built at Cern in an international collaboration. In the last exciting years several milestones have been achieved. For the first time the complete scheme to generate the high current has been set-up, the beam-based power production in the PETS using this beam has been experimentally demonstrated. Thanks to these milestones the two-beams acceleration scheme has been experimentally verified, reaching the CLIC nominal gradient.
